Ah, I see! I think Steemit would work best if you're going the self-publishing route (and there's lots of good reasons to do so--that's for sure).
I published with a mid-sized literary press and had a great experience and the opportunity to work with an editor that I deeply respect.
Mid-sized presses can be a mixed bag, but that's better than the large presses, where the experience is (in my circle of friends) uniformly in the bad-to-awful range. You asked a great question here, and your perspective with a mid-sized house is valuable. Thanks for sharing.
